    Hello from SC

    Hello all. Long time Doxie owner with a new, to me, pup. Lost our Dorkie a couple of weeks back, but our new, as yet to be named, pup is squealing by the door (strange house, strange people, not a happy camper), so I'll pour an adult beverage and settle on the floor for a while. Either he'll...
